First time using Rudheath MOT centre for car's MOT. Only moved to Northwich area the previous year and wish I had known of Rudheath for my 2017 MOT (as was ripped off by other garage!) Excellent service, collected car from my house at the time agreed and advised will be updated throughout. When received call to advised MOT passed given information of advisories (front break pads / one tyre legal limit). Asked if could do while had the car and the price. Very reasonable and very quick work. Car returned and very professional and friendly service. Will definitely use again when mine and wife's car are due and also for any other work required, including service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. GBR, Lostock Gralam

Rudheath MOT Centre were recommended to me as a good local garage, they are also BMW approved which gave me even more confidence. I certainly wasn't disappointed, they picked the car up from my house at the time agreed, kept me informed of all items required as part of the service and delivered the car back to me promptly. The service was a reasonable price and the car feels great, can't fault them and will certainly use them again.

I had a complete loss of engine coolant resulting in overheating on the morning of the 21st December 2017, which was the day before the last working day before Christmas. I rang Rudheath MOT Centre, and was answered by a very friendly and helpful receptionist who offered me a spot the following Wednesday (27th December), which was the first working day after Christmas. I agreed as all other garages nearby could only fit me in post New Year, and the receptionist asked whether it would be OK to call back if there were any cancellations the same day. I got a call at lucnhtime on that day saying that a slot had come up, and after bringing my vehicle in was promptly informed of the problem, fix and the reasonable price, to which I agreed, and I was informed that the part would have to be ordered but it would be ready tomorrow (22nd). A couple of hours later I received a phone call informing me that the work had already been done, as they had the approved part in stock, and was ready for collection. As I rely on my car for both work and travelling to see family over the Christmas period, I was over the moon that it was promptly fixed after looking so dire that same morning. This is the first time I have used Rudheath MOT Centre as we are new to the area, but I will certainly be returning for all repairs and future MOTs, and cannot recommend them enough, not only for the quality of work but for their excellent customer service as well.

After a poor experience with a garage that I had been taking my cars to for over 20 years (they had been taken over by a multinational after being a small private garage) I really researched a new place to take my car for its annual MOT & service. Following great reviews in the net and personal recommendations I chose Rudheath MOT. Good & friendly service, with no hard sell and a fair price. My only choice for my car!

These guys are the best. As an 'amateur' mechanic, this is the only garage I trust to MOT and do work on our cars.

After being so impressed with reviews of the Rudheath MOT centre I decided that they were my number one choice to change our Mini's clutch. Correspondence was impeccable and the quote was very very competitive. I dropped the car off on Weds night and then picked it up on Friday afternoon. I was kept up to date all the way and they even topped up my gearbox oil free of charge. The car is now like new!! I have to mention how friendly and helpful Robin and Lucy were in the reception. Sorry 'Biffo', I believe you were the poor guy who fitted the clutch and I believe it wasn't the easiest one you have fitted?? Many thanks guys and I will be back very soon and thanks for the quotes you have posted out to me for my other vehicles repairs. Anybody looking for a trustworthy garage then I thoroughly recommend Rudheath MOT centre. I used the train to get back to Helsby which was another plus as the station is a 5 minute walk from the garage. Thanks again guys

I have used Rudheath MOT with several cars over the years and they have always been prompt, reliable good value. I currently have a new car, so I'm not putting much business their way. But yesterday my car was ratling as though the exhaust was falling off. I could see nothing, so I drove carefully to Rudheath MOT. It turned out to be a pebble trapped in the brake pad. Sorted in 5 minutes, no charge. I can think of other places where my car would have been stripped down and I would have been told I needed new brake pads. That is not Rudheath MOT's style; they are people you can trust.

First my car went in for MOT and service 23/09/15. Everything was done correctly and on time, even correcting an electrical fault. Eight days later, 05/10/15, the car failed to start. Although this was a Monday, a busy day, a mechanic came out, jump stared the car and told me to follow him to the garage. Car was checked over and a new battery fitted. I was only charged for the battery. I will use this garage again, and recommend it to family and friends.

Started in 1998 when my husband took our Nissan QX, he was impressed with the high standard and quality of work from an engineer's point of view (he died in 2000), I have been taking the Nissan QX and now the Prius hybrid since then. I have always had good advice and not been talked down to, as a lot of garages do to women. Nigel and his team are very helpful, and explain properly what needs to be done.
